http://tinyurl.com/oe9w39f Seven remaining targets for the Cleveland Cavaliers in free agency By Chris Fedor, Northeast Ohio Media Group CLEVELAND, Ohio -- It's been a busy yet successful off-season for the Cleveland Cavaliers. 對騎士隊而言，這次成功的停賽期是忙碌的。 They agreed to deals with LeBron James, Mike Miller and James Jones. They locked up Kyrie Irving with a new max extension, keeping him in Cleveland for at least six more years. They have been the epicenter for NBA trade rumors, many of them surrounding Minnesota's Kevin Love coming to Cleveland in a deal for Andrew Wiggins. Those rumors continued to gain steam last week while many teams in the NBA were gathered in Las Vegas for the 2014 NBA Summer League. 他們與LeBron、Mike Miller 及James Jones 簽訂了合約。他們以一份新的延長合約留下KI，將他留在CLE 至少六年。他們已成為NBA 交易傳言的中心，而這些傳言圍繞著一份以AW為主軸換得Love的交易案。當許多NBA 球隊為了夏季聯盟而聚首在Las Vegas 時，這些傳言仍於上週持續愈演愈烈。 The Cavs likely won't stop in their attempt to pry Love away from the Timberwolves, but the Cavs also have work to do to fill in the rest of the roster. 騎士隊看起來不想停止他們從灰狼隊那刺探Love的企圖，但是騎士隊也針對補滿陣容中的空缺進行運作。 With their recent moves, the team has very little financial flexibility remaining, and their best shot at another impact move is via trade. 由他們最近的（球員）變動來看，這支球隊只剩很少的薪資空間，而他們所能做出最好的其它衝擊變動就是藉由交易。 They have around $2 million to spend, making free agency deals difficult. The Cavs will likely be looking for the same luck Miami got the last few years with veterans willing to take less money for a chance to win. 他們擁有兩百萬美金左右可以花費，但裸簽自由球員是困難的。騎士隊將期待能像熱火隊過去幾年同樣幸運地，以得到總冠軍的機會，引誘願意以底薪加入的老將們。 The Cavs have looked for shooters this off-season, and Miller and Jones will help, but they still need more depth on the perimeter. The team also has to find another big body to limit the minutes of Anderson Varejao and improve the interior defense. Also, it wouldn't hurt for Cleveland to find a replacement for Jarrett Jack, a backup point guard for Irving. 騎士隊已經在休賽期尋找射手，而Miller及Jones 將會助拳，但是他們在三分線外仍需要更多的深度。這支球隊也也必須找到其他大個子，以期能限制Ｖ的上場時間，並改善禁區防守。而且，對騎士隊而言，找到能取代Jack，這名KI的替補，離去的空缺，並不是個傷害。 Here are seven free agents that may be affordable while also helping the Cavs in pursuit of a championship. Some are capable of making a big impact. Others are for depth purposes. It's about finding value now because the amount of money the Cavs have won't buy much. 底下為七名騎士隊負擔得起，且能協助騎士隊角逐總冠軍的自由球員。某些球員是有能力造成巨大衝擊的。其他的球員則是以加強陣容深度為目的的。下列是有關找出具重要性的球員，因為現在騎士隊所擁有的薪資空間無法添購太貴的球員。 1. Ray Allen, Shooting guard: Allen can choose to hold off retirement for one more shot at a title and reunite with James or he can hang up his sneakers to spend more time with his family. That's it. That's his internal debate. 第一位，Ray Allen ，得分後衛：Allen 可以在暫停退休想法，為了再衝擊一次總冠軍頭銜，與LeBron再度聯手而拚戰；或是高掛球鞋，將更多的時間花在家人身上之間做出選擇。事情就是這樣。那就是他內心的爭論。 At 39, Allen is one of the greatest shooters to ever play the game. He is a 40 percent three-point shooter in his career and knocked down 37 percent of his attempts from distance in Miami during the 2013-14 season. Aside from spacing the floor and giving the Cavs a lethal shooter off the bench, Allen also brings championship experience and much-needed leadership. One of the hardest workers in the game, Allen has played with James and won with him. It's clear Allen has earned the trust of the four-time MVP. Unaffected on the biggest stage, Allen's clutch shooting helped Boston and Miami during its title runs. 39歲的Allen 是最偉大的射手之一。他的生涯三分球命中率為40％，而在2013～14球季於熱火隊有著37％的三分球命中率。除此為場上創造出空檔之外，並能擔任騎士隊板凳球員中致命的射手，Allen 還能帶來總冠軍經驗，以及更多球隊所需的領袖氣質。Allen 身為比賽中最努力的螺絲釘，他與LeBron打球也與他一同獲勝。Allen 得到四屆MVP 的信任是顯而易見的。在關鍵時刻不受影響，Allen 的關鍵一擊在C's 及熱火隊奪冠時期，協助了這兩支球隊。 2. Emeka Okafor, Center: The 31-year-old center did not play last year because of a herniated disc in his neck, and there's no guarantee he returns to health this season. If he does, he could be a cheap option that fits what the Cavs need. Okafor doesn't offer much scoring, but he's a big, strong body who has shown an ability to defend in the paint and protect the rim. He averages 12.3 points, 9.9 rebounds and 1.7 blocks in his career. Prior to his injury, he helped transform Washington into more of a defensive team while helping to ignite the culture change. 第二位，Emeka Okafor，中鋒：這位31歲的中鋒上一季因為頸部椎間盤突出而並未出賽，本季也無法保證他能健康地上場打球。假如他能夠打球，他可能會是符合騎士隊所需的便宜選擇。Okafor得分並不多，但是他是位強壯的大個子，並已經展現過他防守禁區及保護籃框的能力。他的生涯平均為12.3分、 9.9籃板球及 1.7次火鍋。在他受傷之前，當他協助激起球隊文化的改變時，他幫助巫師隊轉變成更為防守的球隊。 3. Jameer Nelson, Point guard: He might be out of the Cavs' price range. Nelson, 32, was released by the Magic this off-season after spending his entire career in Orlando. As it stands right now, the Cavs backup point guard is Matthew Dellavedova, and Nelson would provide more of a stable force off the bench and insurance policy for oft-injured Irving, if Nelson were willing to accept a lesser role on a contender. His shooting numbers dipped this past year, but still averaged 12.1 points and 7.0 assists on a team bereft of talent. He is a career 37 percent three-point shooter with NBA Finals experience. 第三位，Jameer Nelson ，控球後衛：他也許會超出騎士隊開價的範圍。32歲的Nelson在ORL 度過整個職業生涯後，於休賽期被魔術隊釋出。目前的狀態為：騎士隊替補控衛是Delly ，而Nelson將能由板凳球員身分提供更多穩定的力量，並對經常受傷的KI而言是個保險，假如Nelson 願意接受擔任替補的話。過去這一年他的投籃數字下降，但是在一支失去天份的球隊中，仍有平均12.1分及 7助攻的數據。他是位職業生涯三分球命中率37％的射手，並有總冠軍賽經驗。 4. Shawn Marion, Small forward: Yes, the Cavs have the best mall forward in the NBA, but he needs to rest eventually, and James could also be forced to play some power forward in a small-ball lineup, which was very successful for the Miami Heat. Marion has played over 42,000 minutes and remains a strong target in free agency thanks to his resume and playoff experience. 第四位，Shawn Marion，小前鋒：是的，騎士隊擁有全NBA 最佳的小前鋒，但是他最終還是需要休息，而且在小球陣容中，LeBron也可能被迫去打大前鋒，這在熱火隊時期是非常成功的。Marion已經上場超過 4萬 2千分鐘，而且由於他經歷以及季後賽經驗，使他在自由球員之中維持搶手狀態。 Marion, 36, made his mark in the league as a defensive stopper, and that talent was on display during the 2010-11 NBA Finals when he played a big part in limiting James. Signing Marion to handle some of the wings would take pressure off James as well. He has averaged double-digits in scoring every year he has been in the NBA. He would need to take a significant pay cut as he made over $9 million with the Mavericks this past season. He's probably a pipe dream. 36歲的Marion以防守型的制止者在聯盟中成名，而且這個天分在2010～ 11總冠賽期間，當他在限制LeBron中扮演重要角色時展露無遺。若簽下 Marion可以解決一些側翼的問題，也能幫LeBron分擔壓力。自從他身在 NBA 打球開始，他的平均得分都達到雙位數。當他過去這一季待在Marvs 賺了超過九百萬美金時，他可能需要得到一個象徵性的減薪（來加入騎士隊）。他對騎士隊而言可能是個虛無的妄想。 5. Al-Farouq Aminu, Small forward: He's 23 years old and a former top 10 pick. Gifted athletically, Aminu is at his best in transition. His length can help on defense and he is a very good rebounder. While he's incredibly limited on offense, there is untapped potential, which could blossom playing alongside James and Irving. In the NBA, teams need players that understand their role and execute it. Aminu fits coming off the bench. He might be something or he might be nothing. He's young enough and likely cheap enough for the Cavs to take a shot. 第五位，Al-Farouq Aminu ，小前鋒：他23歲且曾是前十順位的球員。在過渡時期，Aminu 充其量是有運動天賦的。他的高度可以幫助防守，且他是非常棒的抓籃板球球員。儘管他難以置信地受限於進攻，但他有未開發的潛力，隨著LeBron及KI身旁打球可能會使其潛力綻放。在NBA 中，球隊們需球瞭解自己定位並執行的球員。Aminu 適合從板凳出發。他可能是塊玉，也可能是顆石。他夠年輕且可能夠便宜讓騎士隊簽下。 6. Jermaine O'Neal, Center: After a forgettable stint in Boston, O'Neal showed last year that he still has something left. It's not much after 18 years in the league, but it's something. He averaged 7.9 points in 20 minutes with the Warriors last year while shooting 50 percent from the field. There were times Golden State went to O'Neal in the post on offense and he delivered. He also showed enough presence defensively - blocking shots, rebounding and banging inside while Andrew Bogut was dealing with injury. O'Neal's a backup center that brings plenty of experience and an edge with him when he takes the court. He would likely be willing to take the veteran's minimum. 第六位，Jermaine O'Neal ，中鋒：在C's 易被忘記的短期打工之後，上一季O'Neal展示他仍然擁有幾分能力。在聯盟待了18年之後雖然剩下的能力不多，但它就是一回事。他上一季為勇士隊效力期間，以50％的命中率，在平均上場20分鐘中，拿下平均 7.9分。有好幾次勇士隊執行 O'Neal在低位進攻的戰術，而且他也拿下分數。當Bogut 受傷治療時，他也顯示了防守上的存在感－蓋火鍋、搶籃板球及衝撞禁區。O'Neal作為替補中鋒，當他在場上打球時，他帶來了大量的經驗及他的優勢。他或許會願意接受一份老將底薪。 7. Ekpe Udoh, Power forward: He has hardly lived up to his draft position (6th overall in 2010). Injuries and lack of offense have been big reasons for it. The athletic 27-year-old is a decent shot-blocker, and could give the Cavs a needed rim protector at a cheap price. There's some untapped potential there if he can finally stay healthy. 第七位，Ekpe Udoh ，大前鋒：他已經努力地為無愧於他的選秀順位而奮鬥（2010年第六順位）。受傷及缺乏進攻能力已經成為他要努力奮鬥的最主要原因。這位27歲的運動員是位正統的火鍋型球員，而且能夠以便宜的價格填補騎士隊所需的保護籃框球員。假如他能保持健康的話，有著未開發的潛力在那等著被開發。 -- 放颱風假，來翻一篇大家應該會有興趣的外電...... -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 111.243.172.47 ※ 文章網址: http://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Cavaliers/M.1406048708.A.DE9.html ※ 編輯: McDaniel (111.243.172.47), 07/23/2014 01:06:45
